MILFORD – Lori’s H2O Skills, a professional learn to swim program for infants through adults, now is expected to open here in August after the general contractor pushed back the completion date.

Construction of the one-story, 4,200-square-foot swim and party facility at 5610 Wolfpen-Pleasant Hill Road began last fall. Until it opens, owner/operator Lori Weber, a certified water safety instructor, and her staff will offer swim lessons at home and community pools.

In a recent email to supporters, Weber wrote: “...The general contractor has pushed back the schedule until mid to late July. We are disappointed about the news, but we want the facility built right and be amazing when it is finally finished. We hope to have the opening sometime around the beginning of August.”

When it opens, Lori’s H2O Skills will offer water aerobics, private swim lessons, classes to ease the pain of arthritis, themed birthday parties and water therapy for children with special needs.

“Our new website, www.lorish2oskills.com is up and running,” Weber said. “This will answer a lot of your questions on pricing, water exercise, classes, special events, parties and all the fabulous things we will be offering at the new facility.”

Weber is continuing private swim lessons at the Beechmont Racquet and Fitness Club. All of those swimmers will be grandfathered in at the same rate at their home or neighborhood pool.

Lori’s H2O Skills also is coming to Polo Fields subdivision’s Dorgene Pool to teach swim lessons. For details, Weber suggests that you check that community’s website.

“ I want to thank you for your patience and understanding during this construction process,” Weber wrote. “We cannot wait to see everyone at the new facility very soon.”
